Tybee Island Beach

I found Tybee Island Beach to be very nice and clean. The pier is spacious and gives you a nice view of the ocean. I wouldn’t say Tybee Island Beach can compare to Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach, or etc because it doesn’t have a popular strip. However, if you are taking little kids or going solely for the water then I think it is a great beach. Everyone was friendly in passing and parking was not expensive.

Sorry but vacationing in Tybee Island was the most boringest vacay ever have taken. It wasn’t awful so that’s why it gets a 2 stars instead of 1. We got a condo on the beach cause we like to walk on the beach at night but nope, cannot do it here. No lights at night to walk on the beach, the beach itself is NOT beautiful, it’s so dirty with broken seashells everywhere. Add the foamy water and blue jellyfishes being swept on shore. It’s a small quiet, yes peaceful town but so boring! Nothing to do! We drove around the «downtown» area at night, it was dead, literally. No one. The restaurants overall were nothing worth mentioning either. Our checkout time was 11 am and the hubby & daughter wanted to leave at 6 am. No kidding, will not return back. I rather drive an extra two hours to go to Destin.

We were only in Savannah for 2 days and went here once. We’d just left Sanibel island were the water was turquoise and clear … when we went to Tybee the water looked brown and the beach was so crowded we didn’t even get in the water. We had trouble finding parking and walked to the beach with the intention of swimming but it felt claustrophobic at the beach … so loud and crowded. Not our thing … we like clear calm water and beaches that are not crowded.

Paid parking — $ 2 per hour, minimum 4 hours. Credit and debit accepted.
Nice sized parking area. No showers or bathrooms that I could see, but there was a trailer hooked up to one area which might have been showers or bathrooms.
A slight walk to the beach area, but not too far for even the little ones.
The surf was rough when we arrived with a strong undertow. Too many wanna be surfers and paddle boarders. I watched in amazement as some of these idiots ran over people who were out enjoying the waves. They need to organize better and have a surfing only section.
The sand is not fine, white, beach sand but it is well maintained. Not too much debris.
I would have preferred to stay at a condo here but apparently it was really popular and we couldn’t find a place to stay. The condos are within walking distance to the beach and there are plenty of them available.
All parking on the street or in designated areas is «paid parking».
Cops here take pride in getting you for speeding and the timer on your parking meter. It is the only way they make money for the town.

Tybee Island Beach is a beautiful beach, the water here is very warm in June and the beach is well maintained from where we were. As others have stated, the water here is nothing like what one would see at South Beach Miami or Key West, but it is nice nonetheless, just murky.
[Parking]
When visiting the beach, you can park throughout Butler Avenue as they have parking meters, however these do require change, so make sure you have plenty of quarters. Otherwise, drive down Butler Avenue and turn on to 14^th street, here they offer public parking as well, but the meters accept credit cards. The parking lot in the rear of 14^th street can get extremely busy at times, so expect it to be hard to find parking spots on the weekends.
If you cannot park at any of these places, you might get lucky, and find parking off Butler Ave and 6^th, 7^th, 8^th, 9^th, 10^th, 11^th, 12^th and 13^th street. Each of these streets have a few public parking spots as well, with meters, but they are very limited. At the end of each of these streets is a boardwalk to the beach. Just make sure to wear sandals or shoes, as the boardwalk gets extremely hot.
Overall, this is a great beach. We all had a fantastic time here. I would recommend it.

4 stars for being able to legally drink beer at the beach!
While I we didn’t have issues with the parking situation (we were staying at a beachfront condo, so we were set) I could see with just a quick drive down the main strip that it definitely could fill up quickly.
But since all we had to do is walk down the stairs and out the gate, it was perfect!
We are so used to «hiding» our adult beverages on Florida’s beaches, it was nice to be able to take a few cold ones with us, and properly enjoy this beach.
There is a lot of beach here too, so make sure you keep your flip flops on while getting closer to the ocean, or else your feet just might catch fire!
The ocean water is a little murky, so don’t expect clear blue waters here, but it felt amazing on such a hot June day.
And no doubt, this is a vacationer’s spot, so it will be crowded, and is very family friendly. But even with all the people out, with so much beach, it never felt like people were on top of us, so we enjoyed it very much.
Some of the vacation rentals have chairs and umbrellas set up for rent, but since we brought our own tent, we didn’t think to ask how much. They do fill up quick!
Lots of trash and recycling cans about to keep the place clean, and a lifeguard stand close by to make sure everyone is safe.
I’d definitely visit again.

I love going to Tybee Island when I can’t go to another far off beach like Myrtle… But its like any other normal beach to me… has the regular beach shops and beach scene that you will find anywhere… The parking is mediocre when you can find one, I had to circle plenty of times, but I did come the end of memorial day weekend. had fun though, a lot of people were on the beach so it was drinking, laughing and having fun! I was down by the pier so maybe that was why it was so crowded

This is a very nice beach. they have a mat that you can walk on to get almost all the way down to the water. It seemed to be very clean and when we visited there were may families enjoyed the water and the day. We walked down the north side of the beach and got some very good views of the lighthouse. There is a nice restaurant on the side of the parking lot so you can have a nice meal and enjoy the beach as well. We were there late afternoon and there was a nice little band with a singer.

Pretty good stretch of beach, decent parking, though i was their during an «off season» so who knows in the middle of summer how it is. Though i wouldn’t recommend this beach if you’re looking for seashells as their was hardly any.
